before you get too into VG, with your "never playing anouther SOE game again" attitude safe in the knowledge that brad promised SOE would not be doing tech support...
Friend of mine called the tech support line and had to choose between 3 options.
dial 1 for EQ
dial 2 for EQ2
dial 3 for Vangaurd
OWNT HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH @ all you losers that thought SOE would actually keep their mitts off of VG.

Hello Everyone,
Today I would like to formally announce that SOE has acquired the assets of Sigil Games Online, including Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. As a part of this acquisition, we are bringing on approx 50 people from Sigil in order to insure that Vanguard continues to grow. SOE is dedicated to making sure that Vanguard is well taken care of and that we provide the same level of service we do for our other titles. In the near future we will come out with a publishing plan that will largely be driven by the strong player community that Vanguard has already built up. We plan on supporting Vanguard for many years to come, and you can expect many content updates as part of your subscription. Down the line we will of course be coming out with new expansion packs, but right now the focus is on making sure Vanguard is running the way it should be.
We are also officially opening up forums. In the past, our deal with Sigil didn't allow for this, but as with our other games we feel this is an important part of communicating with the playerbase. You can expect a strong presence from our community team as well as the development team members. While we realize that Sigil had said they wouldn't open up general forums, at SOE we feel this hampers our efforts to communicate effectively with the players. We will continue to support the fansites in a big way, and will be contacting many of them directly to discuss what this change means. By no means do we want to lose the strong fansite support by making this change, but we do think it's important to have a forum for players to communicate directly with SOE.
A few other items I wanted to mention
1. Brad McQuaid will be consultant to SOE as a creative advisor for Vanguard. Dave Gilbertson will be the person directly responsible for the day-to-day management of both the Sigil Carlsbad office as well as Vanguard.
2. We do not plan on making any major changes to Vanguard. Any changes are going to come from the team itself. We aren't mandating any big changes to the game. We've learned a thing or two with our experiences with the NGE and don't plan on repeating mistakes from the past and not listening to the players.
3. We do plan on spending a lot of time cleaning up legacy issues with Vanguard and making sure the game's performance improves.
By way of comparison, this team is approx. the same size as the EQ2 team and I feel like that team has done an amazing job improving EQ2 since it's launch. We intend to do the same thing for Vanguard and it is our hope that the players feel like we're doing right by them.
Smed

Just heard today that it is official, SOE bought Brad out.
Ok maybe I am a bit late in this news, but I didn't pay any attention to Vanguard due to some personal problems I had With Brad in the early days of EQ. To make a long story short, there was a ongoing email between Brad and I that ended in him threatening to Ban me from EQ1 if I didn't sign a NDA about the subject in question.
It was all over an actual concern that I and some friends had with the game and there was never any profanity, or heated banter used (at least by me), until he told me that due to my knowlege of the issue I had to sign a NDA to never disclose this information.
What I really find disturbing about how Brad developed Vanguard is how he got Microsoft to foot the bill for development, then turned around and got sony to take over when Microsoft finally said enough is enough.
you wonder why a legal copy of XP pro cost $200? Maybe because assholes like Brad cheat Microsoft out of money

In case you didn't notice, brad can't ban you from anything any more, so please tell us what the issue was.
